Tne Deposea priest,s sentlments.

DR.. McGlynn, the Catholic priest who
has created so much stir in political and re-
ligious circles in New York in consequence
of his support of the George labor party,
in one of his letters to Archbishop Corrigan,
of New York, writes:
"AIy doctrine about land has been made
clear in speeches, in reported interviews
and in published articles, and | repeat it
here. have taught and ! shall continue
to teach in speeches and writings as long rs
live that land is rightlully the property
of the people in common, and that private
ownership of land is against natural justice,
no matter by what civil or ecclesiastical
laws it may be sanctioned, and | would
bring about instantly if ! could such change
Of laws all the world over rs would confiiS-
cate private property in land without one
penny of compensation 10 the miscalled
owners"
The Sovereign Pontif has taken charge
of his case. The Catholic Church does not
endorse such sentiment
Speaking Of ,he Southern r. RS con-
trolled by the Richmond Terminal Syndi-
cate the New York 7gmcs says: The Shen-
andoah Valley Road is even more at the
mercy OF the combination. 1t extends
south from Roanoke Va, where il joins the
Norfolk and Western Road, 2iO miles, to
Hagerstown, Nd, whore it connects with
the Cumberland Valley branch of the
Pennsylvania system, and by change of cars
and stations with the Baltimore and Ohio
and the Western Maryland Roads Luray
Caves, the Natural Bridge and the pretty
Shenandoah Valley give it tourist trade,
but not enough TO make it pay unless il has
advantageous connections with the big sys-
TEN, which now has it absolutely at its
mercy for through business. 1t has now
traffic contract with the Norfolk and Wes-
tern and East Tennessee roads, but these
have but short time TO run, and would
not have been renewed had The East Ten
nessee escaped the clutches of the Rich
mond Terminal people. What will become
of it is problem just now pulling rail-
road men,

TALKING IN THEIR SLEEP.

'You think am dead"
The apple-tree said,
Because | have never a leaf TO show
Because | stoop,
And my branches droop,
And the dull gray MOSES over me grow
But I'm all alive in trunk and shoot;
The buds of next May
fold away
But pity the withored grass at my root
"You think am dead"
The quick grass said,
Because / have parted with stem and blade
But under the grouud
! am safe and sound
With the SHOWS thick blanket over me laid.
I'm all alive, and ready to shoot,
Should the spring of the year
Come dancing here
But pity the flower without branch or root.
'You think am dead
soft voice said
Because not a branch or root own.
never have died,
But close hide
In plumy seed that the wind has sown.
Patient wait through the long winter hours
You will see me again
! will laugh at you, then,
Out of the eyes of hundred tlowersI y
